Typically, home design services range from $5,000 to $25,000 + GST, while bespoke homes can cost between $60,000 and $100,000 + GST. Renovation projects generally range from $8,000 to $20,000 + GST.

We maintain a consistent presence throughout our project design processes. We offer an additional service, contract administration, to maintain regular inspections throughout the build and ensure the quality and standards we have set with the design documentation. We follow a process of Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) with our projects, where we sit down with the client and the builder prior to starting on site and outline the standards and quality required so that all parties are aware and understand the project objectives moving forward. A clear set of expectations and consistent communication amongst the team allows us to ensure the client's needs and wants are front of mind in every decision made throughout the process.

The duration of the design process depends on the complexity and scale of the project. Generally, the process includes four stages: Concept Design, Preliminary Design, Developed Design, and Consent Application. Each stage involves regular updates and discussions to ensure the design meets your expectations. On average, the entire process can take 4 weeks to a year or more, depending on the project's requirements and details needed. We strive to provide a realistic timeline during our initial consultation.

The home design process is made up of four stages: Concept Design - Resolving your floor plan layout, site location, elevations & roof design. Preliminary Design - Resolving the design against planning constraints and developing further general arrangement plans along with a couple of cross sections. Developed Design - Finalising the general arrangement drawings and any planning related issues. Starting to detail the building. Consent Application - Providing a fully resolved design and detailing to submit the project for building consent. Throughout this process, there are regular updates and discussions about any material changes or amendments to the design. This continues throughout the project. On larger, more complex projects, there will be an additional stage of contract administration which is maintaining a steady influence over the construction of the building to maintain quality, budgetary and functional standards consistent with a complex design process.

We offer a range of home design services including high-end residential projects, renovations, and small commercial ventures such as retail fitouts. Our services encompass concept design, preliminary design, developed design, and consent application. We also provide contract administration to ensure quality and standards are maintained throughout the construction process. Additionally, we offer personalized consultations to understand your unique needs and tailor our services accordingly.
